So I applied for a job and get this response today:
Good morning,
Many thanks for applying for the role above.
In order for me to progress your application, please complete and return the attached to me.
Also attach a copy of your passport, and a photo of you holding up your photo pages of the passport. Proof of NI.
If I could trouble to to also attach your CV I will then have everything in one place, which would be a huge help!

If you feel comfortable providing this personal information to a random stranger on the internet, with no proof of who they are, then go for it. But I think when you look at it that way, you'll see it isn't the wisest thing to do.

There are a lot of scams out there, don't get caught out.

Is that through an agency? If so, name them.

Proof of NI? I'd send a screenshot from Google maps

I'd say I'm eligible for the role in terms of location and nationality and proof will be provided as part of the necessary procurement steps after the role has been secured. It's not needed prior to that and as an anti-identity theft measure won't be provided prior to that.

Tell him to stuff it up his arse.

Move on, does not look like a genuine job advert.
